OUR 75TH ANNIVERSARY— HOW THIS MISSIONARY DISTRICT

WILL OBSERVE IT

To Concentrate on the Development of Iolani School; Option Secured On Ideal Site; Money Needed Immediately

At the Church Convocation in January of this year, it was resolved that “the Bishop be requested and authorized to appoint a Committee of such members as he shall determine with power to add to its membership, and to appoint com­mittees responsible to i t ; which Com­mittee shall be vested with the authority, and have the obligation, to arrange and carry out such plans as shall be necessary and proper for the celebration of the 75th anniversary of the coming of the Anglican Church in the Hawaiian Is­lands.”

This Committee was duly appointed as follows:

Dr. T. A. Jaggar, temporary chairman; Dean William Ault, Canon Kenneth A. Bray, The Rev. Albert H. Stone, secre­tary ; Miss Susan Fountain, • Mr. H. D. Sloggett, Mr. Chester Frowe, Mrs. W al­ter Dillingham, Miss Marie von Holt, Col. Curtis P. Iaukea, Sister Clara Eliza­beth, Mrs. Charles Chillingworth, Mr. Herman V. von Holt, treasurer; Mrs. James Morgan, Dr. Mildred E. Staley and Mrs. Robert E. White.

S ta tem ent By The CommitteeAn outline of the whole project, as

issued by the officers of the 75th An­niversary Committee covers the main facts of the plan, and states clearly the method of procedure toward its realiza­tion :

Iolani school, founded in 1862, pro­poses to observe its 75th anniversary next fall by completing plans for an entire new school plant on a new site, the project representing an investment of about $500,000.

An outstanding feature of the program is the establishment of a youth movement with the new Iolani as its center as a contribution to the civic life of the com­munity.

The center would be dedicated to the in­terests of youth, regardless of creed, race or color, and its purpose would he to im­press the youth of this community with the importance of the position it occupies.

No. 4

Negotiations Under W ayNegotiations for acquisition of the site

for the proposed new school plant, which is at Waikiki, are now under way.

The site selected lies on the mauka side of the Ala Wai and on the town side of the smaller drainage canal running to­ward Palolo.

Bounded on two sides by the canals, it is bounded on the town side by the proposed University Ave. extension and on the mauka side by a line about 300 feet on the makai side of Date Street.

Comprises 25 AcresThe property will have a 500-foot

frontage on the 500-foot wide public parking strip along the Ala Wai and an 850-foot frontage along the 60-foot wide public parking strip along the secondary canal.

The site comprises 25 acres and the purchase price is $90,000.

Project- Submitted To Council of Advice

Plans for acquisition of the land at Waikiki have been submitted to the diocesan Council of Advice and to the board of directors (the Church Corpora­tion) and have been approved “as a pro­ject that is practical and one that should elicit the support not only of the Episco- nal church, but of the community in general as a civic as well as Christian enterprise.”

The PlanIt is proposed now to form a holding

company or corporation to be known as the Iolani Co., Ltd.

This company would raise capital by subscription to its capital stock and would acquire the property in question as soon as funds and titles are available.

Subscribers to shares of the company would agree to assign their shares, to Iolani school within a period of 18 months after date of incorporation, in considera­tion of payment by the school of the pur­chase price of the shares plus a small interest charge.

At its first meeting, the 75th Anni­versary committee adopted the following resolution :

“That the diocese shall undertake as its project on this occasion to promote the development of Iolani school with special provision for a Christian youth movement with Iolani as the center.

4i

H A W A I I A N C H U R C H C H R O N I C L E June, 1937

“This project includes land, buildings and funds on a scale commensurate with the recent growth of Iolani as a power in this community.”

The board of governors of the school subsequently approved of the action of the anniversary committee.

This plan would give the 75th anniver­sary committee and Iolani school suffi­cient time to raise the necessary funds to take over the property or to ascertain that the program can not succeed.

In the event that attempts to raise the funds should fail, the shareholders in Iolani Co., Ltd., would own an interest in valuable real property which is believed by the organizers of the program to be more than adequate security for the in­vestment.

Option on Land Expires This MonthThe option on this ideal location con­

tinues until June 19th, at which time it is desired to incorporate the Iolani Com­pany, Ltd., W IT H A C A PITA L O F $50,000, O F W H I C H T H R E E - F O U R TH S, O R $37,500, M U ST BE PLED GED, AND $10,000 M UST BE A CTUALLY IN HAND. This pro­cedure will secure the property definite­ly, as the present owners will give a mortgage on the property for the balance of the purchase price, which is altogether $90,000. The diocese can then proceed more leisurely with raising funds for laying out the land, and for the erection of buildings. For the chaoel, the mem­orial to the late Bishop La Mothe, fourth Bishop of Honolulu, there is already in hand a sum of $23,000.

The Board of Directors of Iolani School is at present constituted as follows:

The Bishop, Warden, ex-officio; John Mason Young, chairman; Rev. Albert H. Stone, secretary; Col. Curtis P. Iaukea, Dr. James Morgan, Dr. Paul Withington, Charles Wong and Clifford Kimball.

Vision and ForesightThe vision and foresight of the diocesan

Committee in planning and carrying out this tremendous project are truly thrill­ing, as well as practical. We ask for constant and earnest praver for God’s continued guidance to those who carry on the splendid work of Iolani for the dio­cese, for the community, and for the whole of our island territory.

“ To the First Man That Conies Along”

THANKSGIVING SERVICE IN THE HONOLULU CATHEDRAL ON

KING GEORGE S CORONATION DAY

Among those aiding Dwight L. Moody in his evangelistic work were John Wana- maker and R. K. Remington. Moody expressed hope that he might be able some time to return Remington’s kind­ness. “Don’t wait for me,” was the reply, “do it to the first man that comes along.”

By special request of the British Con­sul in Honolulu, the Bishop and the Dean conducted a service of prayer and thanks­giving which followed almost exactly the form of service prepared by the Arch­bishops of Canterbury and York for gen­eral use throughout the world every­where, except in Westminster Abbey it­self. Even hymns and the music were the same, so far as possible, being used not only throughout the British Empire, but in such other places as our own H a­waiian community.

At the services there were present the consul or other officials of all the coun­tries represented in Hawaii, the Govern­or of the Territory, ranking officers of the Army and Navy, and other local officials. The Cathedral was filled, and a special choir led the singing.

Next day, the British Consul sent the Bishop the following letter of apprecia­tion:“Dear Bishop:

On behalf of the British Community and on my own account I want to thank you and Dean Ault and the Choir very much for all you did to make the Special Service such a moving and impressive one yesterday. Your address made me feel very happy to be in Hawaii on the occasion of the Coronation, and I should like to repeat the gratitude I have already expressed verbally.

Yours very sincerely,(s) A. A. L. TUSON.

At the end of the Bishop’s address, he offered as a prayer the verses of John Masefield, the poet laureate of England.

Masefield’s Prayer for th e KingО God, the Ruler over earth and sea, Grant us Thy guidance in the reign to b e ; Grant that our king may make this an­

cient landA realm of brothers, working mind and

handTo make the life of man a fairer thing: God grant this living glory to the king.

Grant to our queen, the strength that lifts and shares

The daily burden that a monarch bears; Grant to them both, Thy holy help to give The hopeless, hope, the workless, means

to live;The light to see, and skill to make us see

Where ways are bad, what better ways may b e ; j

And grace, to give to working minds the zest i

To reach excelling things beyond their present best.

Grant to them peace, and Thy divine peace,

The joy of making human wars to cease;Make wise the councils of the men who

swayThe Britain here, the Britains far away;And grant us all, that ever rightness willedIn this beginning reign may be fulfilled.

GLIMPSES OF CEYLON AND MALTA

By Evelyn T. Littell[Mrs. Littell on her steamer trip as far

as Marseilles has enjoyed the company of old friends, Bishop and Mrs. John Holden of the diocese of West China, and of Captain and Mrs. John Jenkins, Church Army officers, who live near the foothills of Tibet in the same far­away missionary diocese. She describes her visit to Kandy, Ceylon, while the vessel was in the port of Colombo.]

“We left the ship early, with the Holdens and Jenkins in a 7 seater car, for Kandy. I simply cannot describe adequately the beauties of the 72-mile trip in all the tropical verdure, and all the Hawaiian flora. When we were there before, we did not know Honolulu. It is interesting to see that the things that make Ceylon landscapes so lovely are the same trees and flowers that we have— coconuts and royal palms, travellers palms, papaia, mango, and breadfruit trees, hi­biscus, oleander, poinsettias, bamboo, royal poinciana, yellow and pink shower trees in full bloom. I was able to name nearly everything. The Holdens think me a wonderful botanist when I call out, “See the poinciana regia, and the African tulip tree.” Added to all this, there is the genuine tropical life, with the natives in their colorful costumes, and singing birds in the trees; monkeys aplenty; ox­carts ; elephants lounging in all the streams; and kinky shiny black children waving to us along the way.

tion of Kandy is only 1,600 feet, but the roads are narrow and tortuous. We had lunch (tiffin) at a Rest House, then visited the Temple of the Tooth (dear old Buddha again!) and the Botanical Gardens; and the English Church, which is very lovely and churchly. Easter lilies were blooming in profusion everywhere. Then we went to Trinity College, theС. M. S. Boys’ School. The Headmaster, Rev. J. Stopford, invited us to te a ; so we saw the College, with its amazing new Chapel (in Hindu architectural style, very stunning), and then spent a charming hour in his home, seeing something of missionary life in India, where quiet Indian servants gliding around barefoot, with many colored serangs (skirts), added charm to a memorable experience.

Elephant Rides . . .Also a Gem of a Chapel

After the college, we went to see the elephants bathe. Mrs. Holden and I each had a ride. Joe did the prize stunt, and went with one of the natives across the river and back on an elephant, bareback. I thought, as I saw him soughing through the muddy, turbulent waters of Narweli- ganga River, that he would surely tumble off, but he didn’t ; and he considers it a great experience. On our way back, we stopped at a school for training Evange­lists. They have an artist somewhere in their midst, and a mystic, who has de­signed and carried out the most superb little gem of an outdoor chapel imagin­able, so (tool, so exquisite, with high, carved columns supporting a tiled ro o f; with wide outlook upon a scene of nature —quiet, untrammeled beauty—that is serene and tremendous. This Chapel, and the Buddhist Christian monastery near Hongkong, are highlights in my trip. Returning from Kandy, we were caught in a tropical deluge. The road was dangerous, and we had to go slowly, not reaching the ship for dinner until 8:30. We have a Malay Sultan and his suite on board, and various other grandees, coronation bound. The archdeacon of Colombo, and a Singhalese priest, em­barked tonight. The Bishop of Colom­bo is S.P.G., but there is much C.M.S. work under him also.

Visits Scene of St. Paul’s Shipwreck“As you approach Malta, the island

appears utterly barren, of a low, gray formation, like granite. There are no trees of any height because of the high winds that prevail. We drove at once to St. Paul’s Bay, ten miles from the har­bor, the scene of the shipwreck. I read the 27th chapter of Acts to Joe yesterday when the ocean was rough < a rather sea- sicky time to read it!) . “Melita” men­tioned there, is as you know, Malta. The island vistas are much like Syria—quan­tities of white rocks, square white houses

like those in Palestine; scrubby olive trees, a little cactus, with small fields of green winter wheat, interspersed with red poppies; also fields of red clover; donkey carts on the street like those in Sicily; goats being milked at the doors as in southern Italy. The bastions and forti­fications on the live rock, dating from the days of the crusaders, are really wonder­ful, but a hit antiquated today, when air­planes might possibly find such concen­trated defenses an excellent target.

“ Shipwreck Bar”In St. Paul’s Bay, destroyers were

anchored, which St. Paul wouldn’t like one little bit, and his statue looks down upon them. As we approached the bay, we saw this sign inviting us: “St. Paul’s Shipwreck Bar” (cocktails and whiskeys at all hours!) St. Paul wouldn’t like that, either. “Shipwreck Bar” wouldn’t be such a bad name for a saloon, would it? We came back through the quaint city streets, seeing the lacemakers; and also many maltese cats, but they looked like our ordinary variety of Queen Emma Square breeds—in fact we ran over one! I never saw so many churches and con­vents. The whole island is traditionally monastic, from the pre-crusade era. We saw the Cathedral and tombs of the old crusaders, and the new Knights-of-Malta hospital, rising on an elevation about the

town.” . . . “Late this evening, April 14th, we skirt the west coast of Sicily, and early tomorrow go through the Straits of Bonfacio. Then—Marseilles! and this steamer trip, seven weeks to a day, will end.”

HERE AND THERE IN THE DIOCESE

The Bishop Sails for the MainlandOn June 12th, the Bishop expects to

leave Honolulu for an absence of about five months. He will fly from Vancouver to H artford to attend the commencement at his Alma Mater, Trinity College, on June 21st. Incidentally, the College is conferring upon him the degree of Doctor of Divinity, honoris causa. The Bishop hopes that his vacation will include ten weeks abroad, most of the time in Eng­land ; and expects to bring Mrs. Littell, Nancy, and the two boys back to this country afterwards. The Bishop’s Office will be open as usual every week-day morning during his absence.

Helen Seu’s ReturnWord has come from St. M argaret’s

House, Berkeley, that Helen Seu will sail for the Islands at the end of July. She will be appointed at once as a regular missionary of the Church here, with special emphasis upon young people’s

work. She will be a regular United Thank Offering worker. It is particular­ly gratifying to have her with us in time for the Annual Conference of the Young People’s Fellowship at Camp Harold Erdman the first week-end in September.

Visit of the Fleet153 vessels, large and small, comprising

the Pacific Fleet of the American Navy, spent almost two weeks in May at Pearl Harbor. 59,000 officers and men were here. To say that the behavior of these sailors while on shore was good is to state very mildly the excellent conduct which characterised the men, for the most part, throughout their entire stay. Over 30 vessels maneuvered and practised in and around the Lahaina roadsteads as their base for a couple of weeks before the general concentration in Honolulu. What the Church at Lahaina did for the offi­cers and men is told elsewhere in this issue of the Chronicle.

is Honolulu’s last surviving veteran of the Civil War. As a boy of 19, he enlisted in the Northern Army in 1863, answering Lincoln’s first call by going from his home in Maryland to Washington, a two- day walk. Mr. Lucas, while compelled to remain at home most of the time by the infirmities of age, is still alert in mind and keen in his interest in all that goes on in the world.

Sf. Elizabeth’s Junior ChoirOne of the first things that Deaconess

Swinburne has accomplished at St. Eliza­beth’s, with the ready assistance of Mrs. Theodora Mun the school principal, has been the organization of a Junior Choir. This was started, in association with the small Senior Choir, on Whitsunday.

Memorial Day Services in Chinese Cemeteries

As we know, our Chinese brethren in the Orient lay great emphasis on the visits, not only of individuals, but of whole congregations, to the graves of their departed relatives and friends on or near the festival of All Saints’ and at Easter time. In China after early choral celebrations of Holy Communion, the Christians, led by clergy and choirs vested, march in procession to the cemeteries, several congregations uniting at the ap­pointed time. Here in Honolulu with less emphasis and formality the Christians of various Church connections join in services every Memorial Day. This year they were at the Makiki Cemetery at 9, and at the Pauoa Cemetery on the side of Punchbowl at 10.

A Civil W ar Veteran Participates In Memorial Day Observance

The University Episcopal ClubThe Episcopal Club of the University

of Hawaii has elected as officers for the coming year the following: Sara Hors- will, president; John Wong, vice-presi­dent; Eleanor Awai, secretary, and John Black, treasurer. On Memorial Day the Club in full force went for an all-day outing across the island. A keen observer

j has characterized this Club as “a high- powered group” . It has certainly thrown itself into both campus and diocesan life with interest and activity.

A Valuable Gift to Diocesan ArchivesMiss Marie von Holt has presented a

scrapbook which she made about 30 years ago, containing almost complete news-

| paper records of Bishop Willis’ last years I in Honolulu, and of the transfer of the I Church in Hawaii from the jurisdiction of the Church of England to the Episco­pal Church of America. While the offi­cial records of the Church are complete for the entire 75 year period since Bishop Staley reached Honolulu, the popular and informal records of human interest, such as this scrapbook contains, were lacking for this particular period. We are grate­ful to Miss von Holt’, and to others who are helping us to build up worthwhile his­torical Church collections.

will be represented by Mrs. Littell, Mrs] Peck, Mrs. Thompson, and Mrs. O. Hj Hornung, and we have hones that the] present uncertainty about our splendid! diocesan president, Mrs. William Si Fraser, will be cleared up in such way; that she may attend also. There are two! possibilities in addition for alternates] five of whom are allowed. We ask that! prayer be offered in our congregations as! well as in private for the guidance of God! in all matters connected with this most! important meeting of General Conven­tion.

The Staff Meeting in MayAt the last meeting of the Church

workers of Honolulu before the Bishop! sails for the mainland, we had the pleas-( ure of receiving Bishop and Mrs. Mosher\ of the Philippine Islands and Dr. L. F.j Luckie, Warden of Oahu Prison. The! meeting was given over almost entirely I to the Bishop and to the Warden, whoi gave us two totally different approaches! to Christian life and service on two island groups of the Pacific, where conditions are so dissimilar, and yet which fitted together in a practical and devotional way which greatly informed and deeply im­pressed the members of the Staff.

Delegates to General ConventionIt seems likely that we shall have an

unusually large and representative list of delegates both to the General Conven­tion and to the Woman’s Auxiliary Triennial, which meet simultaneously in Cincinnati, beginning October 6th. We shall have more than the actual number of official delegates required. In addi­tion to the Bishop, the Rev. Hollis Hamil­ton Corey of Hilo will attend as the clerical Deputy; Messrs. L. Tenney Peck and Dr. Thomas A. Jaggar as lay De­puties. Mr. William Thompson expects to attend also. The Woman’s Auxiliary

The Children For Christ

Mothers and fathers, the little ones may begin early; be in earnest with them now. You know not how soon you may be taken from them, or they may be taken from you. Therefore, let this impression be made upon their minds—that you care for their souls a million times more than for their worldly prospects.

OF USEFULNESS

The Priory Commencement, taking place on June 2nd, rounds out the first three score years and ten of its history. A class of 21 will receive diplomas at that time. The invited speaker for the occasion is the Rev. Henry P. Judd, pro­fessor of the Hawaiian language at the University of Hawaii. We are unavoid­ably compelled to hold over the full account of this important occasion until the July number of the Hawaiian Church Chronicle. This is the case also in regard to the Iolani Commencement exercises, which continue through several days, and climax on June 3rd with the presentation of diplomas to members of the Senior Class at Tenney Memorial Hall, when 22 young men will graduate. Dr. T. A. Jaggar, well-known scientist and volcano­logist, will be the special speaker on that occasion.

The Graduation ServiceAccording to what has now become a

tradition, the united graduation service of both schools was held in the Cathedral this year on the evening of May 30th. The Bishop, who is Warden of the schools, preached on the subject “Follow­ing Christ”, the text being the 11th verse of the 5th chapter of S. Luke, “And when they had brought their ships to land, they forsook all, and followed him”. Incidents from life on the sea, particularly in the art of fishing, illustrated the subject, contrasting the forcible catching of fishes with the voluntary readiness of Christ’s disciples to be caught in His net, the Church, and to follow Him.

The choirs of Iolani and the Priory led the singing at this service which was remarkably hearty throughout, and sang Gounod’s beautiful anthem, “Send out Thy light and Thy truth that they may lead me”. Following the service, the Bishop and the principals of the two schools received the members of the two graduating classes and their friends at a delightful reception in the Bishop’s House. The entire evening with its wor­ship in the Church, and the informal friendliness at the Bishop’s House made a fitting beginning to Commencement Week.

AN EPISCOPAL CHAPLAIN FOR HAWAII AT LAST

Good News From Major General Moses

In a letter to the Bishop, dated Scho­field Barracks, May 13, 1937, General Andrew Moses w rites:

“I greatly appreciate your letter of May 10th, and your kind congratulations on my designation to command the H a­waiian Department on the departure of General Drum.

I note with interest your remarks re­garding the work of Chaplain Albert H. Stone at Schofield Barracks in behalf of the members of the Episcopal Church at Schofield Barracks. His services are greatly appreciated and I wish to thank you for your fine cooperation and in­terest.

Chaplain (M ajor) Luther D. Miller, U. S. Army, is scheduled to arrive in Honolulu on September 4, 1937 At this writing, a decision cannot be made re­garding his assignment to station. I can assure you, however, that every consider­ation will be given your suggestion that he be assigned to duty and station at Schofield Barracks.”

MISSIONARY OFFERINGS ON THE W AY UP

Report from New York in MayCollections in 1937 indicate that we

may be on the way up and out of our “Emergency”. The statement made at this same time last year reported thirteen dioceses and districts “entirely asleep” and only thirty-one in the 100% class, but this year we can make the joyous statement that EVERY diocese and dis­trict in the United States has made a payment and fifty-nine out of 99 have paid 100% or more of the amount due. (Honolulu has paid $2,000, which is one- half of the entire year’s “expectations.” )

To the children must be given credit for a substantial share of this successful record for out of the $207,866.18 received during April $100,021.98 bears the mark of the Church School Lenten Offering.

OUR COVER PICTURE ST. AUGUSTINE’S, KOHALA

In the midst of one of our beautiful country churchyards on the Island of Hawaii stands the mission church of St. Augustine, Kohala. The carved altar panels and reredos in the church are particularly beautiful, while the memorial altar brasses complete what is one of the loveliest sanctuaries in the diocese. Arch­deacon Walker, a true missionary, covers a large area in northern and eastern Hawaii, assisted by Captain Denis Smith at Makapala, Captain and Mrs. George

Kamuela near the entrance to the Parker Ranch, at St. Columba’s, Paauilo, and at St. James’, Papaaloa. Between these mission centers the Church workers min-

. ister to scattered families and individuals in villages and plantation camps over a distance of nearly a hundred miles. The rectory at Kohala under Mrs. W alker s hospitality is a center for gatherings of people of many races who make up the Kohala community.

A Bit of HistoryIt is not out of place to give here some

of the interesting facts which make up the 64 years since Bishop Willis first ministered to Kohala. W e quote from Bishop Restarick’s book, “Hawaii From the Viewpoint of a Bishop” :

“On November 20 (1874) the Bishop (Bishop Willis) rode to Kailua and called on the King, who was there on a visit. Leaving that place at 4 p. m., he made his way toward Kawaihae, spending the night on a bed of clinkers. At 4 a. m. he was again on his way, and, passing the night at Kawaihae, he proceeded early the next morning to Puuhue, where he took breakfast with the family of James Woods, and then set out for Dr. W ight’s at Kohala.

On Sunday, November 23, he cele­brated the Holy Communion in Dr. W ight’s house, and leaving on the 25th, he stopped at Puuhue to baptize an in­fant. He reached Mr. Spencer’s at Wai- mea in the afternoon and next day he baptized three children, sailing on the 27th from Kawaihae for Honolulu.

In such a journey as I have described we learn something about traveling in those days. I have gone over the same ground in a carriage and later in an auto­mobile, and the journey was not an easy one even then with fairly good roads. But it was far different from riding on trails, though Bishop Willis never men­tions discomfort or fatigue. He was a man of remarkable endurance and had the true spirit of a missionary.”

“ Little Britain”“Early in the eighties a number of

English Churchmen had settled in Kohala for the purpose of growing cane. So English was this district that it was some­times called ‘Little Britain’. These men corresponded with Bishop Willis as to the need of Church services, but for a time he did not see his way clear to begin work there. A Foreign Church had been in existence for some years, but members

of the Anglican Church desired services and offered to support a clergyman. Among the Churchmen in the district in those early days were the brothers Clement and Ralph Sneyd-Kynnersley, Ernest and Fred Burchart, James Woods of Puuhue, George Holmes, Jack Brodie, Robert Wallace, Robert Hall, and mem­bers of the family of Dr. James Wight.

In 1882 the Rev. H. F. E. Whalley was sent to Kohala, and the next year nearly half an acre was given by the planter George Holmes, on which St. Augustine’s Church was soon erected. On February 10, 1884, it was consecrated. Every effort had been made that it should be a suitable building. The altar, lectern, and font were made from oak grown at Loxley Hall, an estate of the Sneyd- Kynnersleys in England. They were sent out ready to be put in place. The land surrounding the church was at the same time set apart as a cemetery, and here a number of those interested in the build­ing and maintenance of the church are buried. All the costs of the improve­ments were met by local gifts, and for many years the Kohala people paid the stipend of the priest, and also the up­keep of the property.

How St. Paul’s, Makapala W as Started

There was at this period a number of Chinese Christians, most of them on the Niulii plantation. In 1882 they formed themselves into a congregation with Luke Aseu as lay reader under the direction of the Rev. Mr. Whalley. Some of these had been connected with an English Church mission, and some with the Basle Lutheran Mission, in Canton . . . and these people readily attached themselves to the Anglican Church. St. Augustine’s was some six miles from Niulii, so, in 1886, a half acre of land was obtained at Makapala on which St. Paul’s Church was built for the Chinese, and on Feb­ruary 10, 1889, it was consecrated.”

Gowen arrived from England at the in­vitation of Bishop -Willis. W hen he arrived, the Bishop was away. Some Chinese Christians came to Honolulu from Kohala on September 18, 1886. Rev. H. F. E. Whalley wrote to Mr. Gowen to look after them. He went out the same day to find them, and arranged a service the following Sunday, Septem­ber 19, 1886”. This was the beginning of St. Peter’s Church, Honolulu. A large number of those whom we received by baptism into the Church in Honolulu were men and women who had been led a long way toward that goal by mission­aries in China whose names we shall never know.

Three Kohala Church W orkers Become Leaders in China

“Mr. Whalley was succeeded in 1888 by the Rev. J. M. Silver, who remained until 1892. At Makapala a school with instruction in Chinese had been conducted for some time, and on September 2, 1892 a school house was erected on the church lot. Mrs. Aseu, an excellent Chinese scholar, educated at the Basle Mission, was the teacher until she and her husband removed to Honolulu in 1898. . . . In October (1894), the Rev. Louis Byrde was appointed to take charge of St. Augustine’s and St. Paul’s. At these places services had been regularly main­tained by C. Sneyd-Kynnersley and Luke Aseu, lay-readers. Mr. Byrde was especially active in the Chinese work, and on one occasion presented eleven adults for confirmation. . . . H e also held occasional service in Hawaiian, both at St. Augustine’s and at St. Paul’s. In 1896, the Rev. Woo Yee Bew, deacon, took charge of the Chinese congregation at Makapala. A fter three years of earnest service Mr. Byrde resigned and went to China. I t was not until January, 1899, that the vacancy was filled by the appoint­ment of the Rev. Erasmus Van Deerlin,

who remained until 1901. . . . Later, Mr. and Mrs. Aseu moved to Shanghai, where Mrs. Aseu became president of the Women’s Missionary Society of the Chung Hua Sheng Kung Hui (Holy Catholic Church of China).

When without a clergyman, Robert Hall served as lay reader at St. Augus­tine’s. He and his sister lived at Niulii, where he was manager of the plantation. Another sister was Mrs. Henry N. Greenwell of Kealakekua. Mr. Hall came from the Island of Montserrat, West Indies.

In March, 1903, the Rev. W. H. Fenton-Smith . . . was sent to Kohala. He was an earnest and devout man and did faithful work in this district. His excellent mother, being a skilful needle­woman, was most helpful in providing and caring for the altar linen, hangings, and vestments. . . .

was appointed. He was accustomed to missionary work. . . . Besides St. Au­gustine’s he had charge of St. Paul’s, Makapala, and a Sunday School at Hawi. He also began monthly services at W ai­mea, where, by his efforts, a neat chapel was built. He also conducted a night school for Orientals at Kohala. Mr. Merrill was greatly liked in the dis­trict. . . .

Mr. James Walker, who had been a worker in the Church Army in England, came to the Islands in July, 1919, and was highly recommended for the Kohala work. A more satisfactory choice could not have been made. In May, 1920, he was ordained Deacon by Bishop Resta- rick.”

the Rev. Wai On Shim as Vicar of St. Elizabeth’s Mission. The appointment goes into effect on June 1st, 1937. Mr. Shim and his family will move into the vicarage immediately.

It is not easy for St. Peter’s Church to give up the active and faithful services of their assistant priest, but both the Vicar, the Rev. Y. Sang Mark, and the congregation are ready to make the sacri­fice for the greater good of the Church in Honolulu. Mr. Shim will continue as assistant treasurer of the diocese, giv­ing his mornings largely to the work of the office in Queen Emma Square.

It is particularly gratifying to have Deaconess Swinburne at St. Elizabeth’s,

and to know that Mr. Shim and the deaconess, who have been associated in Church work ever since Mr. Shim’s ordi­nation, are happy to be associated to­gether at St. Elizabeth’s, and that they anticipate long service for Christ and His Church in harmonious cooperation. St. Elizabeth’s neighborhood offers a wide field for aggressive and expanding work. I know the congregation will support by prayer and service, by offerings and sympathy, the new priest and the new deaconess, who will reside on the Mission grounds.

Praying that God will bless you all, and build up a strong center of Christian life and work not only in Palama, but also wherever St. Elizabeth’s reaches in its membership and influence, I am

His Early LifeMr. Shim was born in Kwangtung

Province, South China, on December 14, 1897. His family were converted to Christianity by German Lutheran mis­sionaries. W ai On entered St. Paul’s College, Hongkong, where he remained until 1910, when he came to Hawaii. Entering Iolani School, he studied there for seven years. He took courses at the University of Hawaii, and at a summer session at the University of California. From 1917 to 1931, he was employed inI f

Gives Up Business Life For The Ministry

After deciding to study for Holy Orders, Mr. Shim spent three years on the mainland, the first at the Divinity School of the Pacific at Berkeley, and the other two years at Seabury-Western Theological Seminary, Evanston, Illinois. M r. Shim was ordained deacon, along with the Bishop’s son Edward Littell, on July 23rd, 1933, in the Cathedral, and was advanced to the priesthood on Feb­ruary 8th, 1935, in St. Peter’s Church, Honolulu. Since that time, Mr. Shim has filled two important positions, one as assistant to the Rev. Y. Sang Mark at St. Peter’s, and the other as assistant treasurer to Mr. T. J. Hollander in the diocesan business office. Both of these duties he has carried on with diligence and ability. W e wish him rich blessing in his new work with his enlarged respon­sibilities.

AUXILIARY DELEGATE TO THE PROVINCIAL SYNOD

The 19th annual Synod met in Seattle, Washington, May 12 to 14. I trust that the clergy and delegates have gone back to their homes feeling the joy and spiritual uplift so evident on this occasion. It is my task to pass on to you in Hawaii the highlights I have gathered. Feeling that you may be interested in Deaconess Katherine Phelps’ paper “The Correspon­dence School in the Rural Community”I am asking her for a copy of her talk. I t seems to me that though conditions are very different they might apply to rural communities on the other islands. The mass meeting in St. M ark’s Cathe­dral was very beautiful. Massed choirs from all the city churches added to the joy of the service, and the very much un­finished wing of the lovely Cathedral rang with the glorious strains of the pro­cessional “Look Ye Saints, the Sight is Glorious.” Adapted in recognition of the coronation that day of King George VI.

“ Making America Christian”— Rural America

I have requested a copy of Dr. Wedel’s address “The World W ithout God”. Dr. Theodore O. Wedel is secretary of col­lege work under the national department of Religious Education. His work among college students is outstanding. Bishop Bartlett of Idaho gave a ver" fine ad­dress “Making America Christian.” It is evident that the problem of reach­ing and teaching rural America is very close to his heart. The sad fact stands before us that 12,000,000 children know no Church school. “We are largely pagan. Rural America is one of the greatest missionary fields in all the world to­day. If you do not win Rural America you cannot win America. The only way to save the city is to save rural America. The greatest blessing the country boy has is the opportunity to be alone, to think things through. Win him and you win and help build America.”

Thankful For Such W omenThursday’s session opened with prayer

by our provincial President, Mrs. J. J. Panton. Here may I pause to express the joy I feel in the wonderful leaders we have in this 8th province.

Be thankful for such women as Miss Anne Patton and her successor, Mrs. Charles Carver. Miss Patton resigning because of the time she must spend in work for the National Council. They are superior women and I feel deeply enriched personally in having come to know them.

Miss Patton’s plea is that we do all we can to teach people to help the gen­eral church progress. “If we do not help the general church, we have failed as Church women. Our earnest prayers are asked for those who are to attend the

General Convention. The U. T. O. stands better than it did at this time last Trien- nium, but do not let down. Make a grand effort, for the offering to reach $900,000.

The highlight of this session was the talk given by Miss Gretta Seumpf from Germany. She was introduced by Miss (’kunmack, student secretary at the Uni­versity of California. Miss Seumpf is one of those rare and vital people. Her talk was overpoweringly inspiring. So much so that it is difficult to quote her. Her subject was “A Christian in the World of Today”. If we had nothing else to think of we would feel we had experienced something very vital, a real Christian experience, in hearing her. As she closed there was no applause, there w'as only silence—two minutes of silent prayer.

Airs. Byers, young, charming, and ex­tremely well informed on international affairs, spoke on “The Church in the World Today.”

“ W hy Am I A Christian?” Tommy and Margaret Reply

I did wish you might share with me the experience of hearing the young boy j and girl speak on “Why I am a Chris­tian”. If you will pardon a very modern expression “they had personality plus”. Both were extremely attractive. The boy, 17, Thomas Radcliffe, of Klamath Falls, Oregon, was first intro­duced by Bishop Remington. This fine lad is the grandson of Archdeacon Rad­cliffe of Eastern Oregon. He is “Tommy” to all who know him and as such was he introduced. H e gave his talk in a fine way. His clear blue eyes looking straight into those of his audience, no faltering, no notes, just the outpouring of the thoughts of a fine Christian youth. He : prefaced his remarks with an apology, a confession, if you please, in that he said ; “I do not talk of things like this very often when I am with the boys and the , crowd and I am very much ashamed of it, but even though I do not talk of it I am conscious of it every minute, and I think my friends feel the same way about their experiences as I do.

may not agree with me. My parents have set an example for me. I t makes a great difference how you are brought up and if you have lived in a Christian environ­ment. It must make an impression on you. At twelve years of age I met a man, a clergyman, who influenced me greatly.

I like to think of that man and the things he said to me. Later I had a Scout Leader. He taught me so much that was worthwhile. Later still, I began to feel the support of other people. We have a place in the country called ‘The Cove’. That place is so inviting that we have what we call ‘The Cove Spirit’. We find that when we leave it we always want to go back and so it is with the Christian life. Once you have had a bit of it, you cannot leave it, and you always want to return. I recommend to you the Forward Movement booklet ‘Why Be A Christian?’ The Christian life is like a fast running stream. W ith­out Christ it is a sluggish stream, that when it reaches the meadow, stands in stagnant pools. But not so the fast running stream that keeps happily on its way until it joins a larger stream—the Christian life, the life to come. The thing for me to think of is what can I do to help other young people. I want to close with a quotation from Edward Everett Hale, ‘I am only one, but I am one. I cannot do everything, but I can do some­thing.’ ”

“ I W ant to Know W here I Am Going”Margaret Hopple, 17 years old, of

Bellingham, Wash., was the next speaker. She is sweet to look upon and as she be­gan to speak, I suddenly had a great feeling of assurance in the youth of to­day. If only we, as Church women, can live life so vital as to make them feel that we are abounding in the faith of Jesus Christ! “Why am I a Christian? I am a Christian because I believe in God. Why do I believe in God ? Because the presence and power of Him who created and is creating is about us all. Every blade of grass, every plant, every green leaf that thrusts its tip above the brown earth is proof of the Almighty Power. No child goes out at night, look­ing at the stars without this message be­ing returned to him. I want to be a Christian because it is a challenge to pro­gress, spiritually, mentally and physically. The Christian masters life rather than letting life master him. I want vision, I want to be a Christian so that I may know

where I am going. The spirit of brother­hood is true though we cannot see it. Christianity is a stabilizer. This frees us from worry, makes us happier and contented, not caring for ourselves alone but for others. We cannot tell how prayer helps us but we know it does. ‘Oh Lord, teach us to pray?’ ”

St. Margaret’s HouseSt. Margaret’s House Conference

brought up many interesting discussions regarding the future of the house. On every hand Dean Newell’s name is as a light, having guided those who crossed the threshold of St. M argaret’s to higher ideals. The Committee on findings (con­sisting of Mrs. Lance, Miss Ruth Jen­kins, Mrs. Charles Carver, Mrs. Eck- strom and your delegate) presented sug­gestions which we hope may lead to dis­cussion and thought for the future good of St. M argaret’s House. ' There seems to be quite a difference of opinion as to whether it is wise to have the house used as a boarding house for outsiders, or to limit it to a training center for our own workers.

The Synod banquet was held in the Hotel Washington. Four hundred and seventy-eight attended the dinner. Bishop Remington acted as toastmaster. The cablegram from Bishop Littell was read by Bishop Houston, and was deeply appreciated, as was evident by the ap­plause it received. Seattle was the per­fect host, and everyone had a happy and worthwhile visit.

HO W THE NEW VICAR AT LAHAINA ENTERTAINED

THE NAVY

It is indeed fortunate that the vicarage at Lahaina has been rebuilt, and is occu­pied by the priest, John Miller Horton, and also by a close friend, an active young churchman who is visiting him, Victor Generaux. Under date of April 30th, Mr. Horton wrote: “We have sim­ply been swamped with the navy. The vicarage has been deluged with chaplains

and officers since last Sunday. W e have been to dinner every evening on some ship. I have had the Church wide open, and literally hundreds of sailors have visited it, many of whom have remained to say their private devotions. Some of the ships are remaining over the week end and we expect a big influx at the Luau. Some of the chaplains have taken tickets and sold them among their men. Chap­lain R afferty has already sold 25 and wants more. We shall probably have to limit them. The hours of our Church services have been posted on the ships. A number of the officers have informed me that they would be present.”

Three days later he continued his nar­rative : “The Navy moves out tomorrow, and we’re wondering just what it will seem like to settle down to normal life. Our callers have been legion. All ex­pressed warm thanks for our kind hospi­tality. I am glad to say that the conduct of the sailors in town has been splendid. There has been little drunkenness and very few fights. It was not always thus. We had a fine attendance from the fleet at our Sunday morning service. Some came to our Sunday School.

The Luau was a great success. Over 600 came. Chaplain Rafferty brought 30 officers from the Ranger alone. All of the money is not in yet, but I ’m hoping that we’ll clear $300.00. Everyone was delighted. Most of the men knew nothing about a luau, and were glad to have the opportunity to attend one. The setting was very attractive under the coconut trees at the back of the armory. I secured some Hawaiian singers to entertain the guests while the food was being served, and two little girls from our Sunday School danced.”

Two of the chaplains and one of the men who had enjoyed Mr. Horton’s hos­pitality called on the Bishop when they reached Honolulu to say what a wonder­ful boon it had been to have Mr. Horton’s active interest in the men. Lahaina had made no general preparations for enter­taining the men of the 31 ships, as the visit was somewhat unexpected. But Mr. Horton and his friend certainly took things in hand and carried through an effective program of hospitality.

A LETTER TO THE CLERGY CONCERNING THE GOOD FRIDAY

OFFERING

B rethren:Grateful thanks are due to the greatly

increased number of the clergy of the Church who this year introduced the Good Friday Offering to their people. The first month’s collection, amounting to $13,924.44, almost equals the amount that had been received at the end of two full months in 1936.

Thanks to this response we will make good cfeir promise to the Jerusalem and the East .Mission for regular monthly remittances, and in every way fulfill the decision of General Convention that this activity, done co-operatively by the whole Anglican Communion, have worthy re­cognition on the part of the Church in America. The Bishop in Jerusalem and Canon Bridgeman and those whom we serve in the Holy Land will rejoice at this achievement.

Will you not make your experience this year bear fruit in even more gen­erous response when next year the Good Friday Offering challenges your interest.

Gratefully yours,G. W A R FIE L D HOBBS,

Directing Officer.
